"Jiu-Jitsu will bring you nothing, my son"
Cristiano Oliveira. Photos: publicity
When Gracie Barra Yakima black belt Cristiano Oliveira was growing up, he was destined to be more of a musician than an athlete. Cristiano's father was passionate about music and wanted his son to have a music career. "My dad loves music and always pushed me to take lessons when I was a child," he says, "I played piano, flute, and sang from the time I was five years old until I was twelve."
It was Cristiano's mom who was a fan of martial arts. She put him in karate, but his dad didn't allow him to do it for very long. "My mom tried again with judo and I stayed with that for about three years," he says, "I was doing judo and music at the same time, but when I was twelve, I quit music school and gave up piano."
Cristiano tried muay thai for two years and capoeira for a little while, but once he began to see shows about Jiu-Jitsu on TV, he became intrigued by that instead. "A friend of mine, Eliezer Dutra, started training Jiu-Jitsu a little before me," Cristiano says, "He pushed me to start training with him and I did. From the first day I started Jiu-Jitsu, at the age of fourteen, I fell in love with it. I gave up all other sports, and never stopped training."
In the beginning, Cristiano's dad did his best to discourage his son from training in Jiu-Jitsu. "He used to put my gi away all the time," he says, "He would tell me that Jiu-Jitsu would bring nothing to me in my life. It made me more determined to make a life out of it and to become successful through it."
Cristiano's adult class at Gracie Barra Yakima
Cristiano kept proving to his father again and again how influentially sound Jiu-Jitsu was to his life, and his dad began to accept his dedication and commitment to it. He eventually became completely supportive of Cristiano's passion for the sport. This was especially true when Cristiano was a teenager. As is common for many high school-aged kids, he started making some bad choices in life. "I slowed down in my training, I didn't study for school, I hung out with my friends too much, and I got lazy," he says, "But Jiu-Jitsu brought me back around."
The lessons learned on the mats showed him the right way to live: "Jiu-Jitsu taught me respect and discipline. It influenced me to finish high school and get a college degree in physical education. Even now it effects the way I act and react to people and different situations. It has taught me to think before I act."
Cristiano says the power of Jiu-Jitsu reaches even further out than that. "Jiu-Jitsu made me and Alexandre 'Dande' Santos friends," he says, "We lived in different areas and were members of rival neighborhood 'gangs.' My crew used to fight his crew. We had to train Jiu-Jitsu in the same school. It made us become friends. We respected each other. Today, Dande is my best friend. Jiu-Jitsu changes lives."
As Cristiano progressed in the sport, he discovered that he loved to compete, and participated in and won several tournaments in his state, Brasilia DF, and in that region of Brazil. He took 4th place at the Brazilian Nationals a few times and in 1999 he took 3rd place at the Pan as a purple belt. "In 2009 I took 1st place at the Pan as a black belt," he says, "I've always competed because it's fun for me. I like testing my skills against other people."
The years have passed, but for Cristiano, not much has changed. Jiu-Jitsu is still his life, even at the age of thirty one. Cristiano eats, breathes, sleeps, and lives for Jiu-Jitsu. "To me Jiu-Jitsu is more than a sport – it's a lifestyle," he says, "It changes the way you run your life; the way you eat, the way you exercise, and the way you take care of yourself."
He says the best part of Jiu-Jitsu is the essence of its spirit, and the discipline learned through it: "It's so gentle, but effective at the same time. It gives you control over situations, without hurting your opponent."
Kids group at Gracie Barra Yakima
Cristiano owns and operates GB Yakima, located in Eastern Washington State. "There are only about twenty five thousand people in this town," he says, "I opened the school in May of 2009 and it's still growing. We offer Jiu-Jitsu classes for men, women, and children, and follow the Gracie Barra program and curriculum."
Cristiano takes his professor role very seriously. He really enjoys interacting with his students, teaching them, and watching them progress in the sport with his help. "I like seeing them get better in training, compete well, and grow through Jiu-Jitsu. It makes me really happy to see their love for training", he says.
Kids' class at Gracie Barra Yakima
GB Yakima has been quite successful. Business has been good and the student membership is growing. So much so that Cristiano has to find a new location and a bigger space for the students of his academy.
Cristiano has built a very relaxed and friendly school. "All of our students get along very well and are a strong team together," he says. As his students progress in the gentle art, they're becoming more motivated and confident in themselves and more respectful and disciplined in life. He sees them becoming better able to control their lives and make good choices. "Like I said before, Jiu-Jitsu is a lifestyle, and I can see my students adopting the Jiu-Jitsu way to live," he says, "It makes me so proud, it's better than any money. It touches my heart."
Adults' class at Gracie Barra Yakima
Cristiano is looking forward to getting his students ready for some upcoming tournaments, but he is also making plans to throw his own tournament in Yakima to promote the sport. He has begun doing Jiu-Jitsu demonstrations in his community to garner interest, and he's planning a 2011 summer Jiu-Jitsu camp for the kids of Yakima to come and experience the gentle art.
Although it's difficult for Cristiano to spend any time away from training and teaching Jiu-Jitsu because he loves it so much, he does try to get off the mats when he can, to experience some other sports and leisure time activities. "I love all sorts of things," he says, "But Jiu-Jitsu is always my number one choice."
His students are glad he gave up the piano.

After adding compression to your recording, you will likely find that your "S" sounds are too sharp. On certain speakers, this can result in annoying distortion. As a result, it is often essential to use a "De Esser" VST plugin after using your compressor plugin.
A De Esser plugin is able to isolate all of the S sounds in your track and turn them down. The De Esser that I use and rate highly is called Spitfish. Spitfish is part of the free "fish fillet" VST package that can be downloaded HERE. Once you've downloaded Spitfish, you will have to add it into Audacity, which you can learn how to do HERE.
Once you've added Spitfish into Audacity, you will need to learn how to use it. Here's a good tutorial explaining how to use Spitfish. Hope it helps!

Rita Moreno(I)

Rita Moreno | Career Retrospective
Rita Moreno is one of the very few performers to win an Oscar, an Emmy, a Tony and a Grammy, thus becoming an EGOT. She was born Rosita Dolores Alverío in the hospital in Humacao, Puerto Rico on December 11, 1931 (but raised in nearby, smaller Juncos, which had no hospital), to seamstress Rosa María (Marcano) and farmer Francisco José "Paco" Alverío. Her mother moved to New York City in 1937, taking Rita with her while leaving her reportedly unfaithful husband and Rita's younger brother behind. Rita's professional career began before she reached adolescence.
From the age of nine, she performed as a professional dancer in New York night clubs. At age 11, she landed her first movie experience, dubbing Spanish-language versions of US films. Less than a month before her 14th birthday on November 22, 1945, she made her Broadway debut in the play "Skydrift" at the Belasco Theatre, costarring with Arthur Keegan and a young Eli Wallach. Although she would not appear again on Broadway for almost two decades, Rita Moreno, as she was billed in the play, had arrived professionally. In 1950, she was signed by MGM, but the studio dropped her option after just one year.
The cover of the March 1, 1954, edition of "Life Magazine" featured a three-quarters, over-the-left-shoulder profile of the young Puerto Rican actress/entertainer with the provocative title "Rita Moreno: An Actresses' Catalog of Sex and Innocence". It was sexpot time, a stereotype that would plague her throughout the decade. If not cast as a Hispanic pepper pot, she could rely on being cast as another "exotic", such as her appearance on Father Knows Best (1954) as an exchange student from India. Because of a dearth of decent material, Moreno had to play roles in movies that she considered degrading. Among the better pictures she earned featured roles in were the classic Singin' in the Rain (1952) and The King and I (1956).
Director Robert Wise, who was chosen to co-direct West Side Story (1961) (the film version of the smash Broadway musical, a retelling of William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" with the warring Venetian clans the Montagues and Capulets re-envisioned as Irish/Polish and Puerto Rican adolescent street gangs, the Jets and the Sharks), cast Moreno as "Anita", the Puerto Rican girlfriend of Sharks' leader Bernardo, whose sister Maria is the piece's Juliet.
However, despite her talent, roles commensurate with that talent were not forthcoming in the 1960s. The following decade would prove kinder, possibly because the beautiful Moreno had aged gracefully and could now be seen by filmmakers, TV producers and casting directors as something other than the spitfire/sexpot that Hispanic women were supposed to conform to. Ironically, it was in two vastly diverging roles--that of a $100 hooker in director Mike Nichols' brilliant realization of Jules Feiffer's acerbic look at male sexuality, Carnal Knowledge (1971), and Milly the Helper in the children's TV show The Electric Company (1971)--that signaled a career renaissance.
Moreno won a 1972 Grammy Award for her contribution to "The Electric Company"'s soundtrack album, following it up three years later with a Tony Award as Best Featured Actress in a Musical for "The Ritz" (a role she would reprise in the film version, The Ritz (1976)). She then won Emmy Awards for The Muppet Show (1976) and The Rockford Files (1974).
She has continued to work steadily on screen (both large and small) and on stage, solidifying her reputation as a national treasure, a status that was officially ratified with the award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush in June 2004.

The biggest mistake is working without a written product plan. Failure to have a plan really impacts product manager performance. The product plan provides the short and long-term outlook detailing everything from current situation and market trends to goals and strategies that drive product line decisions. The purpose of the plan is to provide focus on product line activities and direction to the organization by balancing the needs of the markets with company capabilities consistent with the corporate business objectives.
The plan should also focus on the product lifecycle. The lack of sound lifecycle management can thwart a product manager's performance by causing product proliferation or unwanted cannibalization. Finally, the plan should include appropriate metrics to measure results.
As "product champion," product managers typically have a lot of responsibility with little or no direct authority. They work in a manner that counts on other functional areas to generate success. Given this reality, product managers must be effective leaders. It does not mean waiting for decisions and direction from above or letting others dictate what should be done.
Product managers don't typically manage the resources they require, so they must work with other functional disciplines for support and assistance. The failure in leadership occurs when product managers try to 'manage' the people rather than influence the outcome by using their knowledge of products and markets and their product planning and internal selling skills.
Product managers who struggle the most are those who focus on the small stuff. We call this "majoring in minor things," and it definitely impacts product manager performance. The preference is to work on low-level tactical activities at the expense of important strategic issues like strategic visioning, market analysis, and planning. Because many product managers come to product management from other parts of the organization, most have never had to work at a strategic level. The tendency is to migrate toward (1) doing the things they like to do at the expense of doing what's needed; (2) spending time on things that could best be done by others in the organization; (3) failing to take advantage of expertise and help that can come from others in their organization.
Product manager performance often is dictated on gut feel instead of fact. When market-oriented thinking is lacking, product decisions are limited to (1) "me too" and follow the leader products; (2) customer specific requirements that may not reflect the needs of the broader market; or (3) the "field of dreams" approach to product development that assumes, "if we build it they will come". The true value a product manager brings to an organization is his or her ability to understand the markets and market segments and relate the needs of the markets to the product offering.
Effective product managers know strategies must incorporate the four P's of the marketing mix (product, price, place, and promotion) while less experienced product managers tend to focus on product strategy, what we call the single "P" trap. Product managers who escape this single "P" trap will develop more comprehensive strategies for their product lines by taking into account other aspects of the marketing mix that can in some circumstances be more important to product success than the product itself. Stepping out of the single "P" trap also focuses the product manager as a marketer with an eye toward more effectively positioning and differentiating products to take advantage of market segment opportunities. Comprehensive strategies utilizing all 4 P's benefit everyone in the organization with better product positioning, enhanced value propositions, markets that are more effectively targeted, product pricing and discounts that are aligned with perceived customer value.
The first step to correcting a problem is to identify the GAPs that are causing the product manager performance problem. The good news is that now you know the biggest mistakes that impact product manager performance and product and market success. The better news is that you can avoid or eliminate these problems by taking a comprehensive approach to product management. The successful product manager is one who takes an entrepreneurial, visionary, strategic "business owner" approach to the job. Going forward, we're convinced that product managers and managers that recognize the mistakes early and make the requisite changes in behavior will enhance product manager performance and improve the success of the product line.


How does Duquesne University help students before they arrive?
The Office of International Programs (OIP) answers questions about application steps, immigration regulations, health insurance, housing and arrival services.
What about services for new students at Duquesne University?
The Office of International Programs offers an Orientation Week each semester. During this week, new students receive information and meet both other students and Duquesne University officials. The ESL Program also offers an orientation program for all new ESL students.
How will I know my classes and program level?
All new ESL students sit for language placement tests. After these tests, students learn their program level and classes from their ESL advisor. Program levels and courses.
Can I also take university classes offered in degree programs?
Students whose previous education and progress in English are satisfactory also may qualify to take courses in Duquesne University degree programs. However, acceptance to a degree program will depend upon a separate application submitted to the Office of International Programs.
How long will it take me to learn enough English to study at a U.S. university?
The answer depends upon many factors---your prior level of English, how many classes you take, your rate of progress in each class, and your own level of hard work! However, students who enter at the Basic A level should plan on at least one to one-and-a-half years of study (four to five semesters). Students who enter at the advanced level usually need one to two semesters to complete ESL requirements.


Renee Gonzalez worries about her son, who could die from exposure to seafood or nuts.
Many children hate school, but few can seriously claim that it may kill them to go.
Twelve-year-old Ceasar Sanchez is one of those few. Any exposure to seafood or nuts could mean going into anaphylactic shock, and needing an epinephrine shot to save his life.
In Colorado, kids need a prescription to receive epinephrine at school. Often, the child must either self-administer the medication, or have it provided by a school nurse. Children who forget their shot (often referred to by the brand name "EpiPen"), or children with an undiagnosed allergy, usually must wait for an ambulance. Since anaphylaxis worsens rapidly without medicine, that can be deadly.
"He's been hospitalized twice," says Ceasar's mother, Renee Gonzalez. "They said if he were to eat nuts again, and he didn't have epinephrine, the chances are that he'd die within five minutes."
Protecting kids with these allergies can be a daunting task for school districts. But House Bill 1171, which has already passed the Colorado House and moved on to the Senate, aims to ease the burden. If made law, it will allow schools to stock EpiPens. Trained teachers and staff may administer the shots to kids in need — whether or not they have a diagnosed allergy — without fear of most legal repercussions.
"This bill is important to me because it could save lives by giving schools who want to participate more discretion in administering life saving measures to a child who may be experiencing anaphylactic shock," the bill's sponsor, Rep. Dianne Primavera, tells the Independent via e-mail.
Liana Burns, spokesperson for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, says such laws are trending nationwide because severe allergies are more common now. Between 1997 and 2007, for instance, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention noted an 18 percent increase in childhood food allergies, with nearly 4 percent of children diagnosed with the disorder.
Locally, Academy School District 20 had 399 students with a diagnosed deadly food allergy in the 2007-2008 school year. It now has 639.
Still, there are a few snags — big and small — in HB 1171 that may need to be worked out.
On the smaller side: The bill includes very little funding, meaning schools will need to pay to purchase EpiPens and train staff. Some of those costs, however, could be defrayed. Mylan Specialty L.P. — maker of the EpiPen, and a big proponent of laws that bring their medication into schools — offers grants through its EpiPen4Schools Program. Qualifying schools can receive four free shots.
According to a Mylan fact sheet, more than 20,000 schools have received free medication since the program was introduced in August 2012. Additional medication may be purchased by schools at a discount.
Then there are the more complex issues. Jennifer Miles, lobbyist for Colorado Association of School Nurses, says her organization is working with the Colorado Association of School Executives, the Colorado Education Association and Cherry Creek School District to draft an amendment addressing three problems.
First, the bill may require schools to get a pharmacy license to stock the EpiPen. Second, there's concern that the bill suggests that schools can prescribe the medication, when actually, only a doctor can do that. Third, it's unclear whether the plan allows schools to cherry-pick parts of the law — which may be necessary, because schools must comply with prescribing doctors' wishes.
Cherry Creek, for instance, does stock EpiPens, thanks to a doctor's prescription. But the doctor has specified that the drugs are only for children with an existing prescription, and that only specific staff members may administer them.
Many school districts may want to follow the Cherry Creek model, because doctors may not be willing to take greater risks. While EpiPens are generally safe, there are concerns that they could adversely affect children with certain pre-existing conditions, or that they could injure children if administered incorrectly.
Still, experts say an EpiPen is more likely to save a child than hurt one.
It perhaps could have rescued a Virginia first-grader who died last year after being given a peanut on the playground. Never administered an EpiPen, the little girl had gone into cardiac arrest by the time an ambulance arrived. It's that scenario that scares Gonzalez, who already has had to remove her son from a Boys and Girls Club program in which his EpiPen wasn't welcome ("No allergies allowed," News, Jan. 5, 2012).
"If I knew there was a teacher there that could administer something to [Ceasar] immediately, by all means, go for it," she says. "And if you injure him doing it, you know what, at least you tried."
Miles agrees that HB 1171 makes sense, and she's hopeful concerns can be ironed out so that the plan is adopted by as many schools as possible.
Gonzalez says she'll be watching the bill's progress.
"It opens up a lot of possibilities for these kids, as far as taking a lot of worry off them," she says. "[It's] knowing that they don't have to carry the burden of, 'What if I get sick and don't have what I need on me?'"


This tutorial only shows how to link objects and what does it does.
basically, linking an object makes a parent child connection between that objects, where the object you are linking to another is the one that is going to be recognized as the child.
the parent and child relationship is the one where the parent orders the child and the child copies the parent behavior.

The profitable hospital system with sustainability in its DNA
Anya Khalamayzer
Monday, April 10, 2017 - 2:30am
Gundersen Health System, La Crosse, Wisconsin.
We have all heard the aphorism "health is wealth." Gundersen Health Systems, a nonprofit hospital network operating in 19 counties across three Midwest states, is proving this.
In 2008, Gundersen — headquartered in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where it is its county's largest employer — began the path to achieve carbon neutrality. By October 2014, it became the first U.S. health system to attain energy independence by producing more energy than it consumed, at least some of the time.
"Since then, we've had hundreds of days where we produced more energy than we used, but we're still working on getting to 100 percent all the time," said pediatrician Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, executive advisor and CEO emeritus at Gundersen Health Systems and a White House Champion of Change.
By prioritizing sustainable operations, the Fitch A+-rated organization contributed to the surrounding community's fiscal health, was named one of the top 50 hospitals in the country and was recognized by the United States government for the operational prescription it used to get there: namely its Envision program, which aims for leadership (and monetary returns) through the four pillars of energy conservation, waste management, recycling and sustainable design — all while reducing the cost of care.
The philosophy behind Envision, which commenced in 2008, is driven by the idea that it's possible to make a positive environmental impact while reducing costs for patients. In fact, sustainability explicitly was written into the core principles of Gundersen's strategic plan.

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Gundersen Health Systems

"As a healthcare business, we needed to move to becoming a 'health promoting' business," said Thompson. "One thing we could do right away was lessening our environmental impact. We set a goal to markedly decrease the amount of pollution we are putting into the land, atmosphere, soil and water — and do it in a way that would improve Gundersen's bottom line and the local economy."
Energy independence was Gundersen's primary objective. First, the healthcare case: Pollutants from the burning of fossil fuels cause (PDF) human birth defects, damage the nervous system and internal organs, lead to cardiovascular deaths and stroke and spike cancer risk. The Department of Energy has found that hospitals are often 2.5 times more energy intensive than other commercial buildings, which Gundersen believed was "inconsistent with our mission."
Second, it made fiscal sense. The health system found that its energy costs were rising by about $350,000 annually. A 2008 energy audit discovered dozens of energy-saving opportunities — and acted on them. Retrofitting light fixtures reclaimed $265,000 per year. Replacing exhaust fans, which had been running 24/7, reduced Gundersen's electricity consumption by more than 71,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) a year, saving $4,300 more.
Wiring cooling systems to respond to outside temperature and humidity reduced electricity consumption by about 1.1 million kW hours; upgrading old water chillers to energy-efficient models saved an additional $70,000 per year. Scheduling HVAC system hours reduced utility energy use by 35 percent in some locations. And simply instituting automatic computer shut-off routines in the evenings shaved up to $165,000 annually.
Measure by measure, Gundersen's energy expense consistently has stayed below 2008 costs, despite the system's move to add 26 percent more facility space since that time and a 25 percent electricity price increase over that timeframe.
"In 2008 and 2009, we spent $2 million on conservation measures," said Thompson. "We got a 60 percent return on our investment. There is no other investment that you can make that shows that year-over-year return."
Biomass and biology
By 2014, Gundersen became the first health system in the United States to completely offset its fossil fuels use as it began sourcing locally produced, "organic" energy. The Envision program diversified its energy mix to hedge against inflation, find local sources power for specific projects and contribute to the community's economy in the process.
"Solar was not a strong financial option in Wisconsin," said Thompson. "We came up with a mix of landfill gas, biomass, dairy digesters and wind turbines."
A biomass boiler turns wood from the local lumber industry into steam energy, the health system's major source of power. A 300-ton geothermal heat pump, supported by hundreds of wells dug beneath parking lots, leverage Earth's natural temperature for year-round heating and cooling. Dairy and manure digesters churn farm waste into 20 million kW hours of renewable power while preventing runoff-enriched algae blooms in waterways.
Additionally, Gundersen collaborates with two wind farms, each generating enough electricity to power 1,200 homes. The hospital system is paid for the power, offsetting its energy cost, while it sells the electricity to homes and businesses. It partnered with the La Crosse County waste department to produce gas from landfill trash. Solar panels dot parking ramps and a solar water heater powers a child care office and a renal dialysis center.
"As a marker of how far we've come, we've been able to drop our greenhouse gas, particulate and mercury emissions from coal plants by over 95 percent in eight years and make money," said Thompson. "Many industries and governments are aiming to get 30 percent down by 2030 or 2050." Gundersen estimates that it prevented about nine asthma attacks in 2015 due to fossil fuel emissions reduction.
Gundersen Health System's energy expense has stayed below 2008 costs, despite adding 26 percent more facility space and a 25 percent electricity price increase in the same period.
An ounce of prevention diverts a pound of cure, and Gundersen's 45 percent recycling and reuse rate keeps 740 tons of furniture, food and X-ray film out of landfills. That's nothing to sneeze at, because medical waste disposal can cost nearly five times that of traditional waste, according to industry data.
"We save about a half million dollars per year reusing 'single-use' devices, like carefully disassembling and sterilizing anesthesia masks for subsequent reuse, saving 50 percent of cost," said Thompson. Diverting medical waste can save lives — the health system ceased cycling hazardous pharmaceutical waste such as drugs, chemotherapy agents and antibiotics down the drain. Instead, Gundersen installed medication drop boxes for patient, visitor and employee use, and collected more than 4,150 pounds of pharmaceutical waste in one year (more than the facility itself generates).
All told, sustainability improvements save Gundersen $3 million annually, according to the health system's data. These savings fill the bottom line and filter into holistic health programs such as feeding patients locally raised, antibiotic- and hormone-free meals; offering community health seminars; and holding ongoing energy kaizens (Japanese for "check-ups"). Envision has become the healthcare system's signature, differentiating it as innovative as it is effective.
"There are still people who aren't terribly onboard with the project, despite the notoriety and success we've had — they still think this is a hobby and not a responsibility," said Thompson. "What we did every step of the way was try to show the board that this was consistent with our mission. [...] That theme, coupled with hard data, is what helped us convince them that this is a good path to go down."
A strategy for healing
When we spoke, Thompson was on his way to the Harvard School of Economics in Boston, where he had been invited to speak about how nonprofits can improve community wellbeing through novel investments. Gundersen has put matching funds towards a joint development group with La Crosse to rapidly improve a struggling neighborhood. What's more, the organization also used 20 percent of its total corporate cash and investment funds to keep a high-tech service company in the city of about 55,000 people.
The organization's leadership also ripples into wider repercussions beyond its immediate community, as hospitals account for 8 percent of electricity consumption, while the healthcare industry as a whole contributes to 8 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
Gundersen is a member of Practice Greenhealth, a nonprofit organization that promotes environmental stewardship and best practices by healthcare organizations. The effort was launched in 1998 when the American Hospital Association and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency agreed to advance pollution prevention in health facilities.
"Hospitals need to be resilient in the face of dangerous weather; they need to lead by example and become early adopters of clean energy, and they need to be leaders of the message that climate change is a public health crisis," said Gary Cohen, president and co-founder of Practice Greenhealth and a 2015 MacArthur Foundation fellow.
Its international arm, Healthcare Without Harm (it merged into Practice Greenhealth, where Cohen also is president, in 2008), found that the healthcare industry, due to its practice of incinerating IV bags containing polyvinyl chloride, was the largest dioxin emitter in the United States. Healthcare Without Harm encouraged hospitals to sterilize waste in an autoclave instead, transforming the market towards safer plastics.
Hospitals need to be resilient in the face of dangerous weather; they need to lead by example and become early adopters of clean energy.
"Dioxin is linked to cancer, birth defects, brain damage and learning disabilities," said Cohen. "When we started, there were over 4,500 medical waste incinerators in the U.S. 10 years later, there were only 73 left in the country."
Practice Greenhealth also helped turn the health industry away from mercury thermometers, which leaked the brain-damaging liquid when broken or thrown away.
To promote collaboration on sustainability practices, Practice Greenhealth launched the Greenhealth Exchange (GX) in 2016, a purchasing cooperative comprising Gundersen and three other founding health systems. GX works with healthcare suppliers and group purchasing organizations that allow hospitals to buy sustainable products.
The pressure seems to be working: According to Practice Greenhealth's 2017 benchmark report, the number of participating facilities with a written climate mitigation plan has about doubled. The number of facilities that generate or purchase renewable energy increased by 81 percent. Leading hospitals have a 30 percent recycling rate — double the EPA standard. And nearly 80 percent have purchasing programs that avoid chemicals of concern.
Anesthetic gas capture is next on Practice Greenhealth's list. The gas vented out of hospitals is, according to Cohen, more potent greenhouse agents than carbon dioxide. The group is also co-investing in solar, wind and other clean energy technologies.
"The narrative around climate is changing," he said. "Infectious diseases are spreading because mosquitoes are traveling to other climates. Dengue fever is showing up along the Southeast side of the U.S. More summer days with extreme heat means more people winding up in emergency rooms due to heat stress."
The Hippocratic Oath binds healthcare practitioners to heal the whole disease, not the symptoms. Because community wellness is made up of healthy individuals, healthcare doesn't exist in a bubble immune to environmental concern.
"Healthcare is 18 percent of the U.S. economy, only second to the military," said Cohen. "They have to heal the communities they're accountable to."
Former NRG CEO David Crane wrote that healthcare providers need to be allies to create a more sustainable industry. The industry is responding. Other hospital systems prioritizing community health include Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Health, Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and Hackensack University Medical Center — or any organizations on the Beckers Hospital Review "50 Greenest Hospitals in America" list.
For network administrators who don't know where to start, Thompson draws from experience: "When we set the goal in 2008, we didn't know how we were going to get it done. But we had guiding principles, we had a set of values and a tremendous number of people who worked hard across the organization and the community to make this happen."

The mid sized scaled guns make a nice compromise in a large gun without the expense of a true full scale reproduction. This allows you to buy TWO!!
Hern Scale guns are accurate Historical Reproductions, patterns made from war department ordinance drawings. Some liberty has been taken as to the bore diameter to match the commonly available DOM product for a quality cast in place steel liner.
These big guns ship via truck, and freight charges are driven by current prices of fuel & distance to destination. A commercial address with a forklift will save you money. Upon order & payment for your barrel, you will be contacted by our office to confirm shipping details and provided with a specific quote. You can pay for shipping over the phone at that time, or mail in your payment. $250- $400 is a common range for these shipping charges.
Large guns are not kept in inventory – they are cast to order. Typical production times are 6-8 weeks.
The Ordnance Rifle , Model 1861, was the most-used light artillery piece of the Civil War. More guns of this pattern were made than any other. Ordnance Department records show that nearly 1,000 were purchased, but published reports based on records of Phoenix Iron Company which manufactured them indicate the total was closer to 1,400. Since it first appeared on the field, confusion has surrounded its proper name. Due to a somewhat superficial similarity to the cast iron guns designed by Capt.
Thomas J. Rodman, the name "Rodman" has often been attached to this gun . But it is not a Rodman gun. The 3-Inch Ordnance Rifle was made of wrought iron under a patented process invented by John Griffen, superintendent of the Phoenix Iron Company, Phoenixville, Pa. Its official government name — on the drawings, on the contracts and in the inspection and payment registers — is 3-Inch Wrought Iron Rifle. That is a good point to remember as it is the absolutely correct name.
The modern, generally accepted term 3-Inch Ordnance Rifle is more common. This name "Ordnance Rifle," which is not found in any records of the early 1860s, comes from the fact that the Army Ordnance Board drew the final design and set the specifications in July 1861, for both the 3-Inch Wrought Iron Rifle and a 4.5-Inch Siege Rifle. Though the latter is of similar design and shares the common name "Ordnance Rifle" today, it is a cast-iron gun of completely different manufacture.
Hern Cannon and mortar barrels, except the 8″ Siege Mortar and 8-3/4″ Bowling Ball Mortar , are made with Steel Liner Tubes with minimum 1/4″ wall thickness. and with welded breech plugs. For bores larger than 2 1/4″, we use 1/2″ Wall Drawn-over-Mandrel (DOM) tubing.

We deliver top-quality heating oil using our own fleet of well-maintained trucks. You may choose between automatic delivery or C.O.D. delivery (see below). Our courteous and professional drivers respect your home and your property, and leave it as neat and clean as when they first arrive.
Clean, safe and friendly - those are words that describe the communities in our special corner of Connecticut. That's why Oilheat is the perfect fuel for our Lower Fairfield County friends and neighbors.
It will not burn in a liquid state. In order to light heating oil on fire, you must heat it above 140 degrees, the temperature at which it begins to vaporize.
There are visible warnings if there is a malfunction. With home heating oil systems, carbon monoxide leaks rarely happen without warning. If an Oilheat system should malfunction, it will release a visible warning; these serve as early indicators that something is wrong, long before dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can be released into the air.
It is non-explosive. A match dropped into heating oil will go out as if it were dropped into water.
It burns cleanly. Today's Oilheat burns 95% cleaner than in 1970. Since it burns so cleanly, it comes well within the air pollution standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Low-sulfur products and biofuels, such as those made from soybeans, will further reduce the already near-zero emissions.
It is kind to the environment. Residential heating oil equipment creates such a negligible amount of emissions that heating oil is not even regulated by the Federal Clean Air Act.
It offers dependable and safe storage. With Oilheat, you benefit from having your fuel source safely stored in a tank on your property, with no need to worry about the weather or disruptions in the fuel supply.
There will always be a plentiful supply. Even during the coldest winter months, there's more than enough Oilheat for everyone. In fact, the United States has a Strategic Petroleum Reserve with a capacity of 727 million barrels - the world's largest emergency oil stockpile - in addition to a two-million-barrel heating oil reserve in the Northeast. There are over 50 oil-producing countries, and the U.S. is not dependent on any one country or region for its supply.
Oilheat can be blended with domestically produced biofuel to create Bioheat®. The fossil fuel component of heating oil is now supplemented by domestically grown, renewable plant-based biofuels. Bioheat® is good for the environment and good for America, too - see below for more information.
You can rely on us! We offer dependable, courteous personalized service - with around-the-clock emergency response and the personal attention every customer deserves.
The price is right. On a BTU-for-BTU basis, Oilheat was priced lower than utility gas in 17 of the last 20 years.
Competition keeps prices in check. Competition among local Oilheat companies helps to ensure a better value. But even more importantly, our company offers full service benefits that add value to every gallon of fuel you use (see below).
Oilheat is hot! Of all heating fuels, Oilheat has the hottest flame - for satisfying warmth, and rapid space and hot water heating.
Oilheat systems are super-efficient! Thanks to major advancements being made in Oilheat burner technology, some Oilheat systems now boast efficiency ratings of over 95%! Modern Oilheat equipment actually burns less fuel. The average annual fuel consumption in 1973 was 1,294 gallons; and now it is only 833 gallons - that's 35% less fuel.
Oilheat offers friendly full service.
We offer you a host of products and services to help you use less energy and save more money, including heating and cooling equipment installation, maintenance and repair; comprehensive service plans; convenient budget plans and price protection options; and so much more.

Q: Transceivers - how to select an appropriate antenna? I was considering purchasing these small transceiver modules but am unsure about sizing the antenna. I recall having read somewhere that the antenna must be in proportion (wavelength/4) to the transmission frequency or reception is impossible.
From what I recall, transmission at 915MHz would approximately require a 8cm antenna or so. What are the benefits other types of antenna over basic wire types? And what do you typically consider when sizing an antenna? Can you literally solder a wire onto the device and expect to receive/transmit properly?
I am looking to use these devices no more than 50 feet or so. I have read conflicting data about the dependence on distance.

Not sure where to start with this.
Thank you.

A: Shortening an antenna from its ideal length is not a problem providing you accept and possibly counter the limitations that shortening brings. Here are some words from this site that tell you the story: -

A shortened dipole is simply a dipole antenna that has been shortened.
  Since it is shorter than its resonant length, it will not be resonant
  and will exhibit both resistance and reactance at the feed point.
  Shortened antennas tend to have a capacitive reactance and therefore
  need an inductance to cancel the capacitance and bring the antenna
  back to resonance. Normally the resistive impedance also drops as the
  antenna is shortened, so additional impedance transformation will be
  needed to effectively match the antenna.
A shortened dipole will act similar to a full sized resonant dipole in
  many ways. The effect of ground will still be important, current will
  be maximum in the center and very close to zero at the ends with
  maximum voltage at the ends and minimum in the center. If the antenna
  is center fed, it will still be balanced, with equal voltage and
  current distributions on both legs.
From the principle of conservation of energy, we know that if we can
  feed energy into an antenna, it will radiate. We also know that with a
  suitable matching network, we can feed power into nearly anything,
  including a shortened dipole.

The article goes on to demonstrate how the impedance of the antenna becomes reactive and how the idealized "50 ohm" input resistance becomes significantly less when shortening is done excessively.
Here is another excellent site that explains you can make an antenna from any length.
In short, any length works providing you can get the power into it that you require for transmission. Reciprocity means that a badly shortened antenna works just as "inefficiently" as a transmitter and receiver. There is no silver bullet of length - optimum is quarter, half and full wave antennas but don't let this stop you running the antenna at significantly shorter lengths.
One caution - if you are wanting to transmit several hundred milli-watts or above, not having an ideal antenna (proper length or compensated by matching networks) you may damage your transmitter output stage.

The floor is considered to be the same decoration of the room as the wall, therefore it is very important that the floor covering is not only beautiful and of high quality, but also harmoniously combined with the baseboards. In our recent Soviet past, wooden baseboards were used throughout the construction of houses, which were periodically painted.
Today they are replaced by practical plinths made of plastic, which look great, do not require any renewal of surface coloring, and are fairly easy to assemble. In this article we will describe how to install a plastic baseboard with a cable channel on the floor, without the help of experts.
First, What you need to remember is to install the baseboard after pasting the walls with wallpaper and laying laminated parquet, linoleum or other floor covering.
Before going to the hardware store, you should decide on your preferences in choosing the color of the plinth and make measurements of the room (perimeter).
Based on the measurements made, you can easily determine the required amount of purchased material. As a rule, the length of the plastic profile is about 2.5 m. To the calculated perimeter of the room you should add a small margin (up to two meters) and then divide this value by the profile length (2.5 m).
Be sure to count the inside and outside corners of the room. This is necessary in order to purchase the required number of end caps and the necessary connecting elements.
When purchasing a plastic plinth, check that it belongs to one manufacturing batch at the factory. Carefully read the batch number listed on the sticker, as there is a chance that you can buy a plinth of various shades of the same color.
Before you begin installing the plinth, you must first prepare the bottom of the walls, that is, remove the old nails, as well as any cement flows, even if they are small.
The process of mounting the plastic baseboard is directly divided into the following steps.
Carefully inspect the room and determine which wall in the room is the longest - with it, and start performing the markup: put a corner on the end of the baseboard, and put the baseboard in the far corner of the room (to the place of its future attachment).
With a distance of about five centimeters from the corner, use a pencil to mark the place where you plan to make the first hole. Masters advise to place the second hole from the first one at a distance of approximately 40 cm. Similarly, determine the places for the remaining future holes and also mark them with a pencil. At the end of the marking, put the plastic baseboard aside and start drilling.
It is clear that the holes in the wall will help you make a punch. After this rather dusty procedure, use the vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust. Drive dowels into the drilled holes.
Fastening the plinth Begin fastening the plastic plinth from the first hole, that is, from the corner. Attach the plinth to the wall and with an awl pierce a hole in it into which you insert the screw and screw it into the dowel using a screwdriver. Before you begin to tighten the last screw, be sure to put the connector on the opposite end of the plinth.
Plastic is a fairly soft material that is easily pierced with an awl. Therefore, be careful when working with a plastic baseboard to prevent scratches and do not make it any extra holes.
Then take the next piece of plinth, insert it into the connector, fasten it in the same way.
As soon as you see that you are approaching a corner, measure the remaining section of the wall and then cut off the required section of the plinth. When doing so, consider the length of the connector and the distance to the next corner. Calculate everything so that both ends of the plinth fit into the connectors by about 4-5 mm. Using this algorithm, fix the plastic baseboards on the remaining walls of the room.
All cables, which you decide to lay in plastic baseboards, lay in the process of its fastening. The cable is laid in the groove of the plinth, as a rule, below the screws. Be extremely careful that during the installation process you do not damage the cable.
If you did not think in advance about the laying of the cable during installation, then it does not matter, since the cable is laid in the baseboard and after installation. But for this you have to unscrew the screws, lay the cable and then screw the screws into their previous location. In this embodiment, the cable is located on top of the screws. But for you there is absolutely no difference: there will be a cable below the screws or on top of them.
Installing the baseboard under the tile is a difficult process. However, installing a curb in this way increases the quality of waterproofing. However, if later it will be necessary to replace it, then, along with the baseboard, you will have to dismantle the row of tiles under which it is laid. As for the installation on the tile, this is the easiest method. You can do this work yourself. Next, we consider the installation technology using this method.
First of all, clean the surface of the wall and bath from any contamination. Also clean the gap between the bathroom and tiles.
The gap between the bathroom and the tile is filled with silicone with a construction gun.
To prevent the enamel of the bath from being damaged during work, seal it with masking tape. This can be done by putting it on a dry plinth in the corner, on which it will later be pasted, glue the adhesive tape near the edge of the plinth. After you take away the plinth, and the tape remains on the surface.
After this, apply liquid nails on the substrate.
While applying the baseboard to the wall and bath, press it as hard as possible.
At the same time, glue can crawl out from under the baseboard. It must be carefully removed with a damp cloth.
When the liquid nails are dry, the edges of the border are additionally insulated with silicone on the bath and tile. For this purpose you can use white silicone to match the color of the bath.
By following these simple steps, you'll be able to prevent moisture from entering the bath.


Bible " the Genesis " recording a paragraph of tale about human language: Allegedly, what the descendants of Adam says originally is same kind of language, they live so that grow has taste not only, and return plan build and repair a Beibaierda is direct heaven. God sees this kind of circumstance feels anxious, fear the mankind can refuse to obey in the future check, then nether come a language jumble, make each other understand people not the speech of the other side, cannot communicate, tower nature is not repaired.
Still be before computer advent the world, the mankind produces the dream that gives a kind of extremely rich charm, the hope can be made one day give a kind of machine, the interpreter acts as between the philtrum that it is speaking different language please, put this kind of transducer in lap to be able to take the world: Went to England, it tells English; Arrived France, no matter hold,it can tell French …… again why to plant the foreigner of the language and you talk, want to dial switch only, it can act as between two kinds of different languages " of " a third party, well and truly expression express the idea.

"Video Ouija" is the first episode of the third season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the 43rd episode overall. It originally aired on April 25th, 2004.
Cold open: The Plutonians zoom their ship through space, Oglethorpe sees the Mooninites flip them off in their ship while flying in space, and stop their ship. However, they stop it too fast and fly out of it due to how fast the ship went.
Meatwad plays his new video game Video Ouija with Frylock watching, conversing with undead spirits. Master Shake, observing Meatwad at play, concocts a typically idiotic plan to kill himself so he can enter the game and haunt Meatwad as a ghost, but is stopped by Frylock in the act of trying to hang himself. This enrages Shake, who attributes Frylock's intervention to him "always taking Meatwad's side". Frylock tells him to shut up and go to bed.
Next morning, Frylock finds Carl's pool full of bloody remains and floating, drugged piranhas, with a hose leading to the tail pipe of 2 Wycked, which has run out of gas at some point in the night. Evidently, still planning to fulfill his original plan of torturing Meatwad from beyond the grave, Shake waited until Frylock went to sleep and carried out a ridiculously elaborate suicide by stocking Carl's pool with live piranhas, then simultaneously taking an overdose of sleeping pills, breathing carbon monoxide from Carl's running car, throwing a plugged-in toaster into the pool and then jumping in after it. Carl, viewing the scene, dryly questions "Hey, did he want to kill himself?"
Shake has left a blood-smeared note, in which he tells Frylock to bury him with all his posessions, "because you know they're mine", and urges Meatwad to get on his Video Ouija, since he's now going "wail on him from the grave".
Frylock, by this point all-too familiar with Shake's idiocy and incredibly bad judgment, reads the note with a straight face, but Carl is unsympathetic. Frylock glumly agrees, but leaves the scene quickly. Carl says he can't help but notice that he's trying to leave, and wonders if he might be interested in helping him clean the "Shake stew" out of his pool, to which Frylock grumpily responds in the negative, earning him a veiled threat from Carl in response.
Back at the Aqua Teen House, Meatwad quickly loses interest in Video Oujia and stops playing it, which ruins Shake's plan and bores him, so he demands Frylock bring him back to life somehow, since he's a "math guy" despite Frylock's protests that he doesn't think "math" is going to resurrect a dead person.
To make an attempt at resurrecting Shake, Frylock hires BillyWitchDoctor.com, an African witch doctor specializing in resurrecting chickens as well as doing birthday parties. Frylock and Billy get a reluctant Meatwad and Carl to assist them in performing the spell by holding hands and forming a seance circle, despite Carl's angry protestations about "holding hands in fairyland", insisting that he doesn't do "both sides of the field...with the short-shorts".
After a number of pranks, including several gay jokes that nearly drive Carl away, as well as forcing the group to chant "I am Sofa King, We Todd Ed" simply to amuse himself, Billy finally gets down to the actual resurrection, chanting "Arise, Chicken!" repeatedly and banging his staff on the ground. Nothing happens, even after he brings in his fog machine and moves the group to a new location for "better reception". Frylock eventually gets tired of the whole thing and kills Billy with his laser beam eyes.
Taking up Billy's chicken summoning staff, he tries one more time to resurrect Shake. The spell instead summons Ultra Mega Chicken, a massive, legendary chicken with fangs, horns and jet engines, which kills Carl by landing on him.
Master Shake kills himself by drowning in Carl's pool with pirahnas while breathing in monoxide and overdosing on sleeping pills.
BillyWitchDoctor.com is blasted by Frylock's eye lasers.
Carl is crushed by Mega Ultra Chicken.
This episode has the longest Spacecataz cold opening.
This episode was featured in the CSI episode "Formalities." It was turned on in one of the hotel room's televisions.
Frylock seems upset and sad when Shake commits suicide in this episode, but in previous and later episodes, Shake has died or committed suicide and Frylock usually doesn't care when this happens.
The console that Meatwad plays his games on is a replica of the Atari 2600 game system model.

Our first product was Eye Candy and it was successful because it figuratively and literally drew outside the lines. The lines in question are the "marching ants" at the edge of a selection in Photoshop. In 1993, filters were not allowed to draw outside of the marching ants, only inside the selection. That made many popular effects impossible to implement as Photoshop filters, such as shadows and glows.
Usually it is a terrible idea to break the rules of an application programming interface (API) like the Photoshop plug-in specification. The API is the agreement between Photoshop and the filter that helps them cooperate smoothly, like the traffic laws for automobiles. In this case I didn't go through a red light, but I did drive on the median to deliver important features to graphic designers. Officer, it was an emergency. The designers really wanted shadows and glows!
So, how did we draw outside the marching ants? Here is roughly the sequence of events.
The customer is using Eye Candy to create a glow. She clicks OK to apply the effect.
Eye Candy saves the selection in a temporary file.
Eye Candy sends two fake key presses to Photoshop. They are Command-D to drop the selection and then Command-F to rerun the last filter.
Eye Candy exits. Now we are back to Photoshop, but nothing has happened to the image yet.
Photoshop drops the selection and then runs Eye Candy again. Now Eye Candy can draw anywhere on the image because there is no selection. It reads the old selection from the temporary file and uses that shape to decide where to draw the glow. Now Eye Candy finally draws the effect on the image.
Eye Candy exits for real this time.
All this happens so fast after the user hits OK that they don't notice anything strange. It just looks like Eye Candy can draw where no other filter could.
Lying to Photoshop about what the user is doing may seem dangerous. It is. Those fake key presses caused a steady stream of bugs. For example, in Finnish Photoshop the shortcut for dropping the selection is not Command-D. All the bug fixing was painful, but it was worth it because we could do effects that no one else could. That helped get Alien Skin Software off the ground.
After a few years, Adobe extended the plug-in API to allow drawing anywhere. That was a relief and Eye Candy became much easier to maintain after that.
When all your customers want something that seems impossible, don't give up. Try solutions until you find one that works, even if it requires driving on the median for a few years.
And, please, give us back the Jiggle-Filter for exactly roughen Borders with smooth fine tuning to make them look real!
Here is a blog article that will help you achieve that same effect.

59 not out: A closer look at Joe Root's record as England captain
Joe Root quickly shelved talk about his future as England captain after the Ashes were lost in Melbourne but statistics suggest he may be nearing the end of the road.
An innings defeat at the MCG, handing Australia an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series, was no way to mark Root's record-equalling 59th Test as skipper.
He insisted it would be "selfish" of him to discuss his own future but here, the PA news agency looks at how he compares to his country's longest-serving leaders.
Root joined his immediate predecessor Sir Alastair Cook on 59 Tests as England captain and is one of only five men to captain England in 50 or more Tests.
Roberto Martinez opposes plan to hold World Cup every two years
Villa's Wesley on verge of January exit with interest from Brazil
Sources: Rubio set for MRI after hurting left knee
All of those have been in the last 30 years, with Michael Atherton the first to reach the landmark with 54 games between 1993 and 2001.
That record stood until surpassed by Cook in 2016, with Michael Vaughan and Andrew Strauss standing down after 51 and 50 respectively in between times while Nasser Hussain came up just short on 45.
None have matched Atherton's eight-year reign in the years since, with Cook and Strauss serving six years apiece and Vaughan five.
Root, appointed in February 2017 although his first Test in charge was not until July of that year, is coming up to the same timeframe as his fellow Yorkshireman and after a difficult spell – made all the more onerous by coronavirus protocols and having to carry the batting line-up almost single-handedly in recent years – he may soon decide he has done his time.
Root's record
Root's 27 Test wins as captain are an England record, surpassing Vaughan by one, although his win percentage of 46 per cent is lower than both Vaughan and Strauss at 51 and 48 per cent respectively.
His batting average in that time is 47.47, around five runs down on his Test career average but still the highest of England's 50 club, and his astonishing 1,708 runs at 61 in 2021 demonstrate that his batting has been able to stand up to the rigours of captaincy.
The team's batting record under his leadership, though, shows an average of just 29.10 runs per wicket – lower even than Atherton's wildly inconsistent team of the 1990s (29.87) and well down on the average under Cook, Vaughan and Strauss.
They have passed 400 in only eight of 86 completed innings since he took charge – they have been bowled out as many times for 120 or less, with Melbourne the sixth occasion his side have been dismissed short of 100 including a low water mark of 58 all out against New Zealand in March 2018.
Root and Cook rank joint-eighth on the all-time list for most Tests as captain, with Root set to pass India's Mahendra Singh Dhoni into seventh outright in this series assuming he plays in both remaining Tests.
Graeme Smith is the only man to pass 100, leading South Africa from 2003 to 2014 in which time they won 53 out of his 108 Tests.
Australians Allan Border (93 Tests) and Ricky Ponting (77) sandwich New Zealand's Stephen Fleming (80) on the list, with Clive Lloyd completing the top five with 74 Tests as West Indies skipper.
Virat Kohli has led India in 67 Tests following predecessor Dhoni's 60, with Cook and Root followed by another Australian in Steve Waugh (57) to round out the top 10.
Waugh's 72 per cent win rate is the best of that group, followed by compatriot Ponting on 62 per cent and Kohli with 58. Smith and Lloyd came up just short of the 50 per cent mark, with Root next up ahead of Dhoni, Cook, Border and Fleming as the latter pair won just 35 per cent of their games in charge.
